For this product the criteria are based solely on what flavors should be present in a S'Mores and whether or not the flavors are in a S'Mores balance. I did have my husband try this product because this is something I cannot eat and I am not sure I have ever had a S'More so I wouldn't know what it was supposed to taste like anyway. My husband on the other hand has had S'Mores before and is actually able to eat them.
For this review I asked my husband to try this and let me know the following:
Does it taste of chocolate?
Does it taste of graham cracker?
Does it taste of marshmallow?
Are the three flavors in balance the way they would be in a S'Mores?
If no, what is the over riding flavor?
Lastly, I did ask him if he liked it, which is solely an opinion question and may not be reflective of what you would think of the taste.
Before I give the review, I want to include as much of the text from the packaging as I can include because I know it is not the easiest thing to read text on pictures.

Now on with the review:
Does it taste of chocolate?
Yes, very chocolatey taste.
Does it taste of graham cracker?
Sort of, cannot taste it very much.
Does it taste of marshmallow?
I guess, cannot taste it very much.
Are the three flavors in balance the way they would be in a S'Mores?
No.
If no, what is the over riding flavor?
Chocolate is the over riding flavor and it makes it so that is almost all you taste.
Lastly, I did ask him if he liked it, which is solely an opinion question and may not be reflective of what you would think of the taste.
He thought it was okay and reminded him of HoHos which he also thought were okay. So if you like HoHos you might like this.
